Cafe Madiera: The New Dev

I'm temping for the next two weeks near Waterloo. At lunch time, I steal a notepad and a pen from work and decide to find a cafe for some NaNoWriMo work. There's a Portuguese cafe near the station, Cafe Madiera, which has some decently-priced sandwiches. I order my lunch at the counter and ask if there are any free seats upstairs. The guy says there are so I climb the stairs, feeling like I'm going to bump into someone from work. I scan the tables and spot, instead, [livejournal.com profile] dj_alexander!

We have a quick chat because he's at the end of his lunch break. I'm sure we'll meet again at lunch time and have a proper bitch session chat. I bet he's got a lot to say about the Dev's "new direction". ;-)

I think it's going to be loads of people! In the 20s, by the looks of it. I'll probably just meet people at the club because I'm going with some brasilian friends (and, if you don't know this, brasilians are notoriously late). So... I guess expect to see me there at some regular attending-hour: say 10pm?

Wow! That's a lot of people... now I'm feeling slightly reluctant again.

I'll probably see you in there and, who knows, maybe I'll be able to drag my friend after all.

I'm afraid I won't be coming tomorrow after all. My friend keeps changing his mind back and forth but I think he's set on not coming now and I'm too shy to fit into such a large crowd.

Maybe some other time?

Hope you have fun anyway.

Yes, I'm sure there will be more times! I hope you have a good weekend anyway. :-)
